On attractions of the play, Mr Mohades told Iran Theater that it was a true story of an event in the country’s contemporary history.
“I like such plays and such roles. I think Kamran Shahlaei has written a good story and all matters related to direction, set designing and prepared videos have been attractive and are featuring part of Iran history very well and I enjoy picturing them,” he added.
The actor explained that he had not seen Alireza Nadali in person but Karman Shahlaei, the writer of the play, had seen it and given him a detail account to play the role better.
“I personally read his interviews and memoirs to be closer to my role,” he added.
